Fall Co-ed Softball at Hamlin Park Saturdays

Sometimes playing a sport that you haven't played in a real long time, can be.... well....disappointing. On Saturday, Kevin of the Ballard Drinking Team, who hadn't played baseball/softball in at least a decade, had NO problem finding groove. His team put him in left center to start out and he dominated the field, catching everything air mailed his way. At bat, his fluid lefty swing came back to him in a matter of one pitch. His base hits helped get a few runs in and show us all that it doesn't matter how long you've been out of a sport....sometimes you still HAVE IT!!

It was the last game of the day, also known as the Prime Time game...and as Prime Time games go this one did not disappoint. As Indy#71 faced off against Ballard Drinking Team you could tell that somebody came to play! As it turns out, that 'somebody' was Indy #71's pitcher Kati G. She kept Ballard Drinking Team off balance with a great mix of pitches and getting her defense set in optimal position to make a play. After the Indy #71's bats started heating up they jumped out to a nice lead, but late in the game Ballard Drinking Team was in position for a comeback with runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs! Getting her defense set she tossed a great pitch which was hit sharply to the shortstop for the first recorded out, but on an aggressive running miscue both base runners were running on contact. The shortstop rifled a throw to 3rd who then relayed to 2nd to complete a rare triple play! Amazing! Congrats to Indy #71 on an impressive 16-7 victory and to Kati G, pitcher extraordinaire and our Player of the Week!!!
